QUILTING

A quilt consists of three layers:
The topper, batting, and backing fabric. The top
layer is formed by shaped pieces of fabrics joined
together, creating the quilt topper.
No. 1 Straight Stitch (Center Needle Position)
No. 8 Hand Look Quilting Stitch
Straight Stitch / Patchwork Quilting Foot
Quilting Bar
CAUTION:
To prevent accidents, do not change the needle
position. Changing needle position could cause the
needle to hit the presser foot, which could break the
needle or damage the machine.
A. JOINING THE PIECES OF FABRIC
Join the pieces of fabric using Pattern No. 1 with a
seam allowance of 1/4 inch (6.3 mm)
B. QUILTING
Sew three layers of material (topper, batting,
backing). Use quilting bar to sew successive rows.
Insert quilting bar into the hole of presser foot
holder and set the space as you desire.
C. HAND LOOK QUILTING STITCH (NO. 8)
Use invisible nylon sewing thread or very
lightweight thread that matches the fabric on
top. Place thread that contrasts to the color of
the fabric on the bobbin. Set the upper tension
to maximum or near maximum. When you sew,
bobbin thread will pull to the top and give the
appearance of a traditional hand quilting stitch.
